Description makes no sense lol

I like the car, love the pink and would love to own a panther pink 70 but 50 large is a lot of coin for something that would need a do over. ??

No history of rust is stated, the repaint to pink was proffesional, yet its bubbling? lol.
There appears to be pink overspray on the vinyl top, and look at the edging around the top, is the start of something that doesnt look to great.

:pity:

Why do you think it needs a do over, Looks good to me, I'd drive as is. Unless you only drive flawless perfect showcars :shruggy:

Looks like a drivers car to me.  I will agree there's room for improvements, but that is what you get with a driver.  Only two things that I see that hurt it is: it's not an original pink car, and the rear window corners look questionable as far as rust.

Yep !!! these crappy cars were already starting to rust out as they were going down the assembly line, if you expect a PERFECT 2nd gen RT Charger it will cost more than 50k  :Twocents:

At one time I had a 70 Charger parts car that had been painted pink ( had been painted many colours in its lifetime but had started out orange )

Have to say that was a lot of pink
Neat colour but might be hard to live with in the long run when it was not that colour originally

Ad says it was originally green and we all think that dark green colour but there was a lot of other greens out there also that were very cool
I would be proud of a FM3 car but not so much if it never was original
next project 70 Charger FJ5 green

I believe the rims are 68 as they are all chrome
69 70 rims had a trim ring

Heater hoses to the firewall need to be crossed over not straight ( easy fix )

I spoke with the owner about this car and the issues are very small compared to other cars out there for the same price if not more expensive than his one.

The car is a solid daily driver and the car shows well. If I had the coin to spare for another charger I would be getting this one. It's not 100% original and a decent amount of buyers don't care for that sort of thing.
